Carrot Rice

I love the the way carrots add flavour and colour to rice, especially this carrot rice dish. It is absolutely one of my favourite rice dishes. It can be paired with just about any side dish – such as fried chicken, fried fish, barbecue lamb, baked turkey, and even with pastelle. It looks great along side any salad as well.

I honestly believe that this recipe could pull you out of any hungry situation in as little as 30 minutes. It is so easy to make and requires few ingredients, mostly the ingredients you would have coming close to the end of a month, before you go to the grocery. And yet, it looks rich.

I really thought I had posted this recipe, but it was requested by a very observant reader who saw it in the background of our trini style paprika chicken recipe. So here it is. I hope you all enjoy this recipe as much as I enjoy it.

By the way, I have to admit that the colour of this rice is pushed a bit more with the help of saffron.
